A Ghanaian man in Canada has given many people a reason to emigrate from Ghana to search for greener pastures by explaining the financial benefits associated with working abroad.

In a video on TikTok, the young man, who was identified as Nana Gyegye and is currently based in Ontario, opened up on how his life has transformed after he journeyed to Canada as an international student.

Having worked as a senior high school teacher in Kumasi, the young man said that based on his current situation, he arrived at the conclusion that he was receiving pittance as a salary back in Ghana.

Making a comparison, he explained that his monthly salary in Ghana as a teacher is earned in three days in Canada.

"In Canada, the bare minimum you can get working a day is GH¢1000. So in my case, the money I make in Canada for 3 days is the same as the money I was paid a month as a teacher in Ghana."

"That tells you the difference between being here and being in Ghana," he added.
